superjay Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Probably my most hated press box in all of my years of coaching. The PA speaker was located right next to the visitors coaches box. And it blared in your ear time entire game. The windows were always dirty. Sad I’ll never see the new one. RIP crappy Frankfort press box. However, I will miss the Frankfort announcer who I believe is retiring after this year. Not hearing his voice at Case Arena will be different. You got his name Muda?

I swear to God he does I never said it definitely was arson, only speculation on my part. Therefore there is nothing to retract. Besides, that is if you actually agree with the findings of the Fire Department and insurance company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now FHS will get a nice, fancy, professionally built press box with A/C, an elevator, and probably a mini-bar. It will match their fancy-dancy LED field lights that they flash in blue and white whenever the Hot Dogs score. Of course they don't get used much.......................

Those LED lights are far more efficient and less costly over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some places that have the flashing lights I’ve seen notices posted reassuring people that the lights are designed so that they are not a threat to trigger people with seizure disorders. Frankfort have anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game at McCutcheon that I attended this season had some light activity between the halves when the teams returned to the field and they announced over the PA system that, while there would be a strobing/flickering effect, the lights would not be acting at a level that would impact people who might have maladies that might be triggered by a certain level of flickering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
